I remember seeing a What's My Line (as a rerun) in which the subject, an old man, turned out to have been an eyewitness to President Lincoln's assassination when he was a young boy.posted by jfrancis at 3:24 AM on April 20, 2008 [1 favorite]

(and jfrancis, that story of the guest who saw Lincoln's assassination is fantastic as well. That would be another clip I'd love to see!)posted by piratebowling at 5:40 AM on April 20, 2008

That was delightful—thanks! (And I too would love to see the guest who saw Lincoln's assassination.)posted by languagehat at 6:00 AM on April 20, 2008
